There are around 2,500 billionaires now. They own the 273 Republicans in both houses of Congress and 6 of the Supreme Court Justices.
But we are 340 million people. There are more of us than there are of them.
Our constitutional democracy was created for “We, the people.” Not for a delusional, sociopathic, mentally sick wannabeking or dictator and his aristocracy (oligarchy) and their political lackeys.
77 million people voted for what we are all experiencing currently. Hopefully, some of them are beginning to understand that they willingly fell for being conned and voted accordingly and now, as a result, they are being injured by a thousand little cuts to their income, their standard of living, their retirement, their rights, their constitution, their laws, their justice system, their currency, their safety, security and well-being. All of those things are now being assaulted head on by the Trump administration.
It’s not just the people who voted for him and the chaos that he has brought with him who are suffering and will be made to suffer much more in ways that they never could have conceived as even possible as time advances. Their vote for Trump is forcing ALL OF US to go through this horrible nightmare. We are all suffering as a result.
People, good people, do not do that to themselves, their friends, their family, their community, and their nation. They need to understand that for themselves and figure out the reasons and causes that led them on a path that took them so far away from our values as a nation. No one of us can do that for them. It will have to be a personal moment of reflection that brings them to their own understanding if it’s going to happen at all.
I suspect that somehow the 2024 vote that brought Trump to office for a second term could have been manipulated to give Trump those “11.7 votes” that he needed to push a win across the finish line. I believe some interesting information is beginning to surface now about how the vote in some states may have possibly been manipulated to limit the vote of democrats in those states. I am not proposing a conspiracy theory, but a strong suspicion based on data that needs to be either verified or found to be false. However, if states themselves do not do the forensic investigations that would be needed to fully understand this, it will not be done and the truth will remain hidden.
Getting back to my original point at the beginning of this essay:
There are about 2,500 billionaires now and they own the 273 Republicans in both houses of Congress and 6 of the Supreme Court justices.
But, We, the people, number 340 million people, minus the 77 million people who fell for the con and cannot be relied upon to do the right thing and stand up to save the country until they themselves have come to that on their own. I wish that they would and hope that they do join with the rest of us.
So, until they do that, that leaves 263 million Americans who can reliably, if they want to do so, fight back. Fight Trump. That is millions more people than the fewer than 3,000 billionaires and their republican sycophants and tools thatapparently want everything all to themselves and nothing for everyone else. That is millions of people to fight Trump’s inner circle and cabinet. Fight the oligarchs. And fight the sick insanity that has occupied the entire executive branch of our federal government. That is enough people to shake up these offenders who have all lost their minds and deeply offended and injured the American people.
So, the time for standing up and making our voices and demands be heard and implemented is not over yet. Not with the first of the mass national protests that occurred on May 5, 2025. Actions will undoubtedly still be necessary for some time to come.
But I have confidence and hope that the people will prevail. They can if that is what they want. It takes consent to be governed. It takes good governance to merit consent. That’s what we need to stand up for.
Come together. Join hands. It’s going to be a long march.
